97 Lexus

I have over 326000 miles on my Lexus and still running great. Would buy another one if available. Would recommend the Lexus to anyone. Excellent built automobile. Toyota builds a great automobile. If you could find one buy it.

Excellent quality

I bought my Lexus ES-300 from a friend over 10 years ago. He used it to drive to Tulsa from Norman OK 5 days of week. He always used Royal Purple Synthetic Oil. I continued using Royal Purple since then. When I bought my Lexus it had 242000 miles on it. It now has over 323000 and still running strong. I trust driving it anywhere.

1997 Lexus 300

I’ve never had a car for 20 years until I purchased my 1997 Lexus in 2000 Other than a few normal maintenance requirements this car has been hassle free Much better reliability than the American cars I have owned in the past

My Vehicle Review

The car has history behind it. It is a Lexus and it handles driving very well. I have not taken the car out for a long journey experience. As soon as I find some good mechanic that will fix the check engine light concern, I will be bold enough to take the car out for a long distance driving experience.

Driver's opinion - '97 Lexus ES 300

Nice little car; mine has 308,145 miles on it, and still runs good. It's roomy for a small car, the AC and heat work great, and controls are easy to operate. Not much else to say - except a clean one would be well worth looking at.

Reliable

We bought this car thirteen years ago and it never fails to perform as needed. This car has never failed us on the road. With over 320,000 miles on original motor and transmission this is a great vehicle to own, love ❤️ it...

Over 250,000 miles and still ticking

At over 20 years old and many rough miles, it has been a great car considering we bought it used at 8,000 miles. We would warmly recommend a Lexus for its reliability and ease of maintenance. Unlike many luxury cars, it can be serviced by people like the excellent peiple at Jack's Garage as opposed to the dealership or having to take the car to Atlanta or Nashville for the nearest dealership. .

Love it!

It never fails me! All I have done is normal maintenance. Even thigh I bought it used it shades me how much it still can give. I wish they made cars like this nor often. The learn on this is amazing. I noticed allot of new cars are very delicate, very plasticy. I Love my car!

I love my old car.

When I bought this car I swore I would never keep a car more than ten years. Here I am on my twentieth year. I don't have the heart to but a new car because the car runs and drives like new.

When I bought this car I thought I would replace it in ten years. It is now nineteen years old and I still love it.
